Kevin, Jose and Natalia were great. They guided us all the way. I am not a swimmer but they ensured I felt comfortable and safe. They were on time and process to get to and from Culebra was seemless. It was an amazing experience.
Ana Kevin and Jesus Are the best guides ever! They had so much patience with us. Made our hunneymoon even better and memorable!
Chris & Natalia were amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Natalia and Cris were so friendly. Everything went well. Will book with them again
Natasha and Chris were amazing!
Great energy. Felt very taken care of and had lots of fun during the activities!
The experience with the snorkeling was nice, taking the ferry getting back was a horrible experience, had to wait for over a hour longer then our expected return time, we still have not received any of our photos from the snorkeling experience.
Good experience for beginners like myself and my daughter. The vehicle they transported us was really hot, no ac, tinny windows need to be a better way to transport your paying customers
It was amazing, snorkeling was great and fairly easy for most of our group. Saw turtles, tropical fish and coral. Guides were so patient with my elderly mother. Cannot say enough great things about this tour for a great price you do so much!
Overall, it was an amazing experience. Our tour guides were so friendly and welcoming. Don’t be afraid to ask any questions, they’ll help where they can. Plan to arrive early at the ferry terminal, you can take a shuttle back from the parking lot to the meet up spot with the guides. Pack as if going to the beach, you don’t necessarily need to pack a lot but try your best to be prepared. If you want to walk comfortably at the snorkeling spot ( rocks walking into the water) take some water shoes with you, you’ll be barefoot otherwise. Carry cash, and have your phone with you when not in the water. There will be bathrooms at the terminal, on the ferry, but not at the reserve. The ride on the ferry will take about 1hr 30 minutes to get there and to get back. You’ll be tired by the end of the day, but it’ll be well worth it. Listen to the guides and follow the rules! Please respect the wildlife, cleanup after yourself and support the locals.
